We Build

Community Initiative and Exhibition; Sydney, 2017
huge teamwork; drawings and photography by myself; models built with B. Dixon


Vanuatu is a Pacific country of islands that experiences with constant devastating natural disasters. Our team initiated a collaboration with the local Freswind community to design, raise funds and build a new school to replace one lost to cyclone Pam in 2015. A multifunctional space is built with natural materials that is suitable for teaching, learning, and other sorts of community activities. Construction handbook is collectively made and distributed for people to build in the future according to their needs.
